Comment 9 for bug 1069898

@ Sanjay:

Hello Sanjay. I really appreciate your help, and have done what you suggested. However, although the printer works (I've not tested the fax), xsane and simple scanner report 'no devices available' and 'no scanner detected' respectively. The HP-C309a is installed on (wired into) a network with a fixed IP (though since the printer works, that is not related to the problem).

Incidentally, running xsane and simple-scan from a terminal both give the output:
"Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 9: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated."
I doubt if that is particularly relevant, though.

Many thanks for any light you can shed on this, Peter
